Perfect for the ketogenic diet as an after dinner treat, or simply an anytime snack. Its the easiest low carb ice cream I’ve ever made, and there is literally no way you can mess this one up and since its vanilla ice cream you can add almost anything, and it’s going to taste delicious.

Keto Vanilla Ice Cream Recipe:

Its the easiest low karb and keto vanilla ice cream I’ve ever made, and there is literally no way you can mess this one up.

2 teaspoons vanilla extract up to 4 or 6 teaspoons if not using a vanilla pod

1 tablespoon vodka, brandy or booze of choice omit if using the larger quantity of vanilla extract****

Instructions:

Slice open the vanilla bean and scrape the seeds with a sharp knife.

Add coconut milk, sweetener, vanilla bean with scraped seeds (if using), and salt to a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk until all the solids from the coconut milk have the dissolved and the mixture is smooth. If using a vanilla bean, simmer for 15 minutes to infuse the milk.

Remove the vanilla bean and sprinkle xanthan gum little by little and blend until fully combined. If paleo and using arrowroot, dissolve it first in a tablespoon of cold water (i.e. make a slurry). You will likely have some air bubbles, but be sure to check there are no lumps. Any lumps will be resolved by mixing with an immersion blender (or in an actual blender). Sieve the mixture to a bowl, cover with a layer of cling film (saran wrap) laid directly over the vanilla mixture, and allow the mixture to cool completely. The texture will be thick and jelly-like (don’t worry, your ice cream won’t have this texture!).

Add heavy whipping cream or cold coconut cream to a large chilled bowl and whip until soft peaks form. Mix in vanilla extract and the cooled vanilla mixture.

(Optional): add in your booze of choice (omit if using the larger quantity of vanilla extract). The mixture should be thick but still slightly pourable. And, if for any reason your mixture is too thick, thin it out little by little with more coconut milk. See recipe video for texture reference.

Transfer ice cream to a sealable container and place in the freezer until frozen (4-6 hours to overnight). And note that you can still use your ice cream machine if you wish (roughly 15 minutes to churn).

Recipe Notes:

*You absolutely NEED to use full-fat coconut milk here! As lighter versions are simply diluted in water, and they’ll make your ice cream more icy.

**Please see section on sweeteners for deets and possible subs. And if using xylitol, make sure to be careful if you have a pup around the house, as it’s highly toxic to the little guys!

***Be sure to measure a very lightly packed 1/4 teaspoon of xanthan gum, as it’s an ingredient that’s easy to overpack. And if you overdo it, you’ll get gummy ice cream. And if paleo, simply substitute it with 3/4 teaspoon arrowroot flour.

****Booze is totally optional, it just keeps your ice cream from freezing rock solid. This ice cream is super creamy though, so 10-15 minutes at room temp make it ultra scoopable once again.
